MG's page is working again (in Chrome, at least). But there's no obvious mention of towing.

"Projector LED Headlights with reflective technology" on the Trophy.
Any idea how these differ to the "Projector LED Headlights" on the SE versions ?

I "assume", but don't know as fact, that this is the equivalent of the matrix headlamps on VAG products. The owners of those swear by them, I swear at them as they seem still very bright when being approached by one.
On a different note, apparently Camden Grey is only available on the Trophy.

Yes, I was hoping they would be Matrix. I have them on my current car and was just thinking while driving home at 4am this morning how fantastic they are. I would really miss them having had them for 3 years on this lease vehicle.
I don't always use mine on the auto function where they mask out other vehicles as I know they can get a bit confused, but on a clear dark road, when they are doing their thing, relative to steering angle and vehicle speed, they are another safety feature in my experience.

Over on the ZS "shipping thread", @johnyc says his dealer told him that EIGHT shiploads of cars (of all MG models, ICE & EV) are due by mid-September!

MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

If MG loaded the ship, there may be more than just 4's on there. Order books open in September, but many dealers are taking £99 pre-orders (waiting list) Yes it will likely be the same story - in initial shipment followed by long lead times...

Well, I can't get the configurator to work for me either, which also means the "Full Sepc" option!

Seems a tad high for the trophy spec increase over SE LR. But still, loving it ?

 

[WonkoTheSaneUK]

Looks like the page is fixed now (on Chrome at least).
They've also corrected the error in the spec sheet that showed "Brighton Blue £545" instead of "Holborn Blue (standard)".
As in the "free" colour will be a choice between white and blue. (I'm leaning towards a Trophy in Blue myself).

We'll see. It's heresy.

It's heresy.

You must belong to a very strange religion. ?

It's clear that however many vehicles arrive the ordering system is sufficiently opaque that no-one can be certain that theirs is included.

Anyone know why the white and blue are free but others aren't? I'm getting the grey I think because my wife doesn't like the blue, never had a grey before as i think theyre boring, so is the grey some sort of metallic better paint or something?

White and blue are "solid" colours (ordinary paint)
Black and grey are metallic
Red and orange are "Tri-coat"

Ah ok fair enough. Grey it is then for me as I now have a Red, had lots of blacks, would never go for white and the blue the wife doesn't like. And the orange is just too stand out thinking you're a sports car type of colour... in my opinion ?
